Lyrics
V.1
Teddy Muscles
Sally Forth
Think upon your life
Think of all the hurt you’ve felt
What chased you through the night
C.1
Did U miss that magic moment?
Or feel the rhythm in your feet?
Did U hear the song that played?
Were U dancing to the beat?
V.2
Mijo Jones
Sally Forth
Think of your routine
For all the wasted chases
Can you tell me what they mean?
C.2
Did U miss that magic moment?
Or feel the rhythm in your feet?
Did U hear the song that played?
Were U dancing to the beat?
Bridge
What do U recall?
Were U holding up the wall?
Waiting on perfection?
Without understanding?
Did U miss the signs?
Or were U dancing?
V.3
HandyMan
Sally Forth
Soon the song will end
The world will dance without us
But the music will transcend
C.3
Did U miss that magic moment?
Or feel the rhythm in your feet?
Did U hear the song that played?
Were U dancing to the beat?

I like the song but didn’t really understand the story and who the characters are. I think the listener needs more information to really understand it.
